Hey everyone, Just posted a new story I wrote on the website of some great friends of mine. The main character is Deepest Love, who is also an incredible warrior. I promise it is the shortest “epic” you will ever read (2 pages 😉 ) The blog where the story is posted is called 3rdrace.org and is shared by some…

“When they saw the star, they rejoiced exceedingly with great joy.” Matt 2:10 “I am the Root and the Offspring of David, and the bright Morning Star.” Rev 22:16 In one week’s time we’ll sit around a plastic tree and remember it once again: Joy itself has broken through into planet earth. He has all the brightness heaven within Him,…

I’m not quite tired of talking about Joy yet (and ’tis the season, right?), so I thought I’d follow-up a post from last month called Wielding Creation’s Greatest Weapon (you might want to read it first). In that post I talked about how Creation is a constant expression of Joy because it was made by the embodiment of Joy Himself…Jesus…

Below is a guest post from a good friend and brother in the Lord, Thomas Forston. He is an author at 3rdrace.org and has recently started a blog for all of us single folks called SingleandSacred. Also, on a side note, if you haven’t checked out Monday’s post, there were some excellent illustrators involved in creating it, so it is…

Welcome back from part 1 of the holidays! Today’s post has a different spin in that it’s a story that I wrote a few months back….A story which I was lucky enough to have some great friends illustrate. Here it is: Our life in Jesus Christ is essentially an entirely different reality than life outside of Him. The scriptures tell…

Do you want your life to be a journey of experiencing the greatness and familiar voice of the Lord in all aspects of your life? This amazing journey of living by the life of Christ is fully available to us, and in her book Shea’s Letters, the author Shea Harrigan openly talks about her process of learning this lifestyle. Her…

There is something transporting about being out in the wild. Suddenly, no matter what is going on in your life, you are surrounded by bright mountain peaks, flowers in all kinds of smashing colors, or an unrelenting sun beaming bright slits of light through a sea of billowing clouds. A reasonable question for nature might be: Could you stop being…

Update 11/11/2015: Hey everyone….Although it is much later than I expected, I am officially back to blogging. Posts will begin again next week and some of the upcoming topics include: Joy, faith, fragrances, epic journeys, seeds, and powerful weapons. I also expect to have some guest posts from time to time. These posts may have a bit of a different…

“The next day the great crowd that had come for the festival heard that Jesus was on his way to Jerusalem. They took palm branches and went out to meet him, shouting, “Hosanna! “Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!” “Blessed is the king of Israel!” (John 12:12-13) Yes, our Blessed King has come. And on that…

To any of us who have ventured further than our backyards, there is one thing about nature that mind-bogglingly stands out: It is the fact that it all seemingly NEVER ENDS. Even if we were to tread on every inch of soil, sea, and ice on the earth, we still wouldn’t have found time to explore every liquid corner of…
